I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3. I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available. However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Try this - download a program called rec boot. follow the instructions to kick it out of recovery mode. and does itunes recognise
or hold the power and home button together until you see a "connect to itunes" pic on the screen
hope it helps

Trying to update ipod touch stopped working tried to reset it and the screen turnes white after apple logo comes up how do i solve it

I was trying to update my iopd touch when it stopped so i reset it and now when it goes on the screen turnes white

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Tried to update ipod Touch 4th Generation, Update Failed, iPod won't work

So less than twenty minutes ago I tried to update my iPod touch, knowing it had been asking this for a few days. The update failed, as as of now my iPod Touch is stuck on the picture of the iPod cable with an arrow pointing at the iTunes symbol. I've tried holding the two buttons to force it to shut off, it does- when I turn it on I get the apple logo so I know it turned on, only to get it again. When plugged into my computer, it is not recognized by anything. Going to Computer it doesn't see it as plugged in, and on iTunes nothing comes up with connected objects. This happened to me once in the past and I had to go to the Apple Store to have it fixed... can anyone tell me what to do so I don't have to go to them, or am I gonna have to take some time and drive over to have them take a look at it? Also, when removing my iPod from the computer, i get the sound that you get when you remove something from your computer, meaning it knows it's plugged in, just not reading it for some reason.
Thank you very much to anyone that can help!
If this is posted in the wrong area, this is my first loggin- sorry if I screwed up, mind telling me if I did?

iPod Touch 4G 32GB. I had same problem when I tried updating iOS; iTunes says restoring iPod, but after a while gives error 1603. I tried all suggestions from support: recovery mode, other USB ports, disconnect all other devices, uninstall and reinstall apple s/w and drivers, disable all other services using msconfig, confirm USB are 2.0, re-download updated software, reboot computer, name it! I finally installed iTunes on old Dell Inspiron P4 running XP, plugged iPod in it and device got recovered immediately! Put it back in Win7 computer and performed backup restore. Everything is back as it was. I have no idea what prevents s/w update on main computer. I realized I never get "waiting for iPod" message during attempt to restore, while I do on old Dell. I wonder what triggers this message.

Error 14 when trying to sync iPod Touch

Hello. I tried updationg my iPhone OS for my 2nd Generation iPod Touch today and I got and error while trying to do that. I then realized that I hadn't updated my iTunes (update which was released yesterday). I updated my iTunes and then tried to update my iPod Touch again but I keep getting the same error 14, everytime!
I've tried reading Apple's support pages and nothing seems to solve my problem. I've tried restoring my iPod but it just won't let me do it. I get the same error everytime. Plus I've tried doing that on 2 different Macs. On my iMac and on my Macbook Pro. Can someone please help me? I'm afraid I might lose everything I have on my iPod Touch, not to mention the fact that I might not be able to take my music to work with me tomorrow. Please help!

Okay! I got mine to work!
It turns out the only thing I had not tried was restoring the ipod in another computer. I didn't have access to a second computer last night, so there was no way for me to try it. On a whim, I used my mom's laptop to try the restore.
Turns out it worked!
I didn't download the new version of iTunes on her laptop when prompted to. Maybe it helped I didn't, maybe did not. I don't know but I'm just relieved my touch is working again<3
I hope this helps anyone who gets this problem!
Oh! and my touch is working again with my main pc where I was originally having the Error 14 problem.
So after the restore, I think its safe to go back to the main computer where all your music, videos, apps, ect. are on

After updating ipod touch to iOS 5 it doesn't connect to itunes (or computer) any more.

After updating my ipod touch 4G to iOS 5 it doesn't connect to itunes (or my computer) at all.
itunes shows an error. I can't turn it on or off either. i can only see the black screen with the apple while it's (aparently) working.
my itunes is the latest version, that shouldn't be the problem.
can anyone help me?!

The updating on the iPod only is a feature of iOS 5. yu first have to connect to your syncing computer and upadate to iOS 5. After that you can do subsequent updating via wifi without a computer.
